March is magnificent

March is a funny month, it gives us glimpses of spring, yet it can be cold and harsh, reminding us that the grip of winter still has it's hold on us. But I am forever hopeful, the days get lighter and longer, spring training begins and we begin to emerge from winters cold cocoon.
